Description

African Islands: Leading Edges of Empire and Globalization explores how island spaces like Cabo Verde, Madagascar, and Bioko shaped Africa's modern history despite being overlooked in mainstream narratives centred on mainland nation-states. This volume from University of Rochester Press presents scholarly arguments for recognising Africa's islands as critical nodes in intra- and intercontinental exchanges that fundamentally transformed the continent's cultural, economic, and political development. Part of the Rochester Studies in African History and the Diaspora series, the book challenges conventional historical frameworks by demonstrating how these small offshore territories facilitated trade networks, cultural flows, and imperial interactions with lasting continental impact. Ideal for students, researchers, and historians studying African history, globalisation, and island studies, this work provides essential perspectives on how peripheral geographies became central to understanding Africa's integration into global systems and its internal regional dynamics.

Key Features

Analyses how island spaces facilitated important cultural, economic, and political exchanges across Africa and beyond.
